Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who was recently named the hottest woman alive by FHM, was teased for her exotic good looks as a child.

“I used to get called t*t lips – because I had big lips but no breasts,” says Rosie, 24. “And then I was called kipper [fish] lips.”

Now, those “fish lips” not only pay the bills, but have skyrocketed the stunning 5’9″ British beauty to the top of her profession. But like many beautiful women, Huntington-Whiteley insists she was an ugly duckling as a child.

“I was the shortest kid in my year,” Rosie recounts. “And because of my double-barrelled name, people thought I was super p-o-s-h, which is actually not the case. And boys didn’t really go out with me.”

The lean, fit Huntington-Whiteley is now sought-after for her long legs and fit physique.

“When you work for Victoria’s Secret you have to know how to use your body,” says Rosie. “I am not a shy person when it comes to doing things for my job. I’ve never done anything that makes me feel uncomfortable.”

While she has an amazing bikini body now, thanks to regular workouts and a healthy diet, Huntington-Whiteley was told she was too fat when she first started modeling at 17.

“It hurt me, especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.”

Rosie, who’s dating action star Jason Statham, 38, embraces a healthy, active lifestyle because it makes her look and feel great.

“I don’t just work out to stay slim, I work out because it takes a lot to be on a plane and be jet-lagged all the time,” she says. “It’s important your body is strong and toned and can take that battering.”

Huntington-Whiteley, who’s set to make her acting debut this summer in the Transformers franchise, has no delusions that she’s a serious actress, but she’s happy to embrace any opportunities that come her way.

“Would I like even a sniff of Angelina Jolie’s career? Yes. Do I think I have a future in this business? I certainly hope so. And I’m going to work damn hard to make sure I do,” she says.
